Still got a Merc to fix.

Don’t do this to me, I’m trying to get this Mercedes fixed! Midnight news to get off to sleep. Northern Ireland, bla, Iraq invasion, “Sorry I must have misplaced my telescope when you semaphored ‘illegal’, or you may have been a little low with the left flag.” Etc. Then the morning’s front pages. A company’s advert for a job asking for ‘a reliable person’ has been rejected by the job centre on the grounds they might get sued for discrimination! Did I hear that right? Are you reading this right? Yes, apparently unreliable applicants might rise up in the name of their maligned minority, slighted by the suggestion that their unreliability be not considered a virtue. Surely only in the land of ‘Shameless’ might there exist those so criminally unreliable as to see it as a desirable quality and sue for their right to be unreliable. But no. Apparently we the incapable, irresponsible, incompetent, uneducated, unqualified, untrained, inexpert, ill equipped, unprofessional and un resourceful have every right to stand our ground against the ravages of discrimination. Companies foolish enough to ask for qualifications, previous experience and a reference, a sure fire discriminatory document if ever there was one, will find themselves behind bars under the law of righteous indignation. Do we need clearer evidence of our decadence! So News, stop feeding me such demoralising morsels, I’ve got a Merc to fix!
